Denny's Pancakes Recipe
The famed Denny's Pancakes Recipe holds a special place in the heart of breakfast aficionados.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Ladle
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour 2 cups
- Granulated sugar 2 tablespoons
- Baking powder 2 teaspoons
- Baking soda 1 teaspoon
- Salt 1 pinch
- Large eggs, lightly beaten 2
- Buttermilk 2 cups
- Unsalted butter, melted ¼ cup
- Maple syrup, fruits, or whipped cream (optional) for topping
Instructions
- In your primary mixing bowl, sieve the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine them finely.
- In another bowl, mix together the beaten eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined. Ensure not to overmix, or the pancakes won't be as fluffy.
- Heat up your skillet or griddle to a medium setting, giving it a gentle brush of butter.
- For every pancake, ladle out ¼ cup of the mixture onto the warmed surface.
- Wait for little bubbles to form atop the batter before giving it a flip, ensuring the other side turns a rich golden brown.
- Serve your Denny's Pancakes hot, topped with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- To achieve extra airy pancakes, allow your mixture to rest for a short while, ideally between 10 to 15 minutes, prior to frying.
- Maintain a consistent medium heat to prevent the pancakes from burning.
- If you find the batter too thick, a splash of milk can adjust its consistency.
- Always use fresh baking powder and soda to ensure the best rise in your pancakes.
- Practice your flipping technique to ensure both sides of the pancake boast a consistently golden texture.
- Using the exact measurements from the Denny's Pancakes Recipe ensures consistency and taste every time.
